Title translations

.. it will be fun to see what the film will be called in Norwegian, my guess is KLONER ANGRIPER which is more of a direct translation. The translation dont leave room for much variations of the title since the word clone is "kind off new".
Like EPI The Phantom Menace didnt have Norwegian words for it so they looked behind the title to the story and came up with SKJULT TRUSSEL which translated into English is HIDDEN THREAT

Cool, I almost like Kloner Angripper better than Attack of the Clones.

But I got used to TPM eventualy before it was releaced.

i just hope they come to their sense and use the original name.

Cool, can we get some more translations up for different languages. After the last few days, this would make a great followup article for SWMovies.Net to follow on from the fun and games with Comscan.Net

Of particlular interest would be Dutch, Spanish, Swedish and German plus any more that people can give.

*Goes off to right article.*

I didn't know it had another name..

That`s where I got the Idea for this topic RC. The Swedish translation would probably be more like KLONINGARNE ATTACKER Any Swedes around?

i mean that i like original titles better. why translate them when the rest of the film is in english? the translated titles often end up kind of stupid.

In Dutch that would be:
"Aanval van de klonen"
That counts in Holland, Belgium and Suriname and perhaps also in Suid-Africa.

In Spanish,

= Los Fantasma Amenaza (TPM)
= Emprender De Los Clonar (AOTC)

I think these are right but I am new to Spanish 😄

Darn it, where is queeq? I remember he has some good views on the Dutch translations (especially with the 'Vader' link).

Vader and the translation???? Don't know a thing about it

In Portugal the word "Amidala" means "tonsils".
And in the Ukraine "Boss Nass" means "the boss of us".

the names of characters are all based on a lot of different languages.
One of the best is the word Vader, wich actually means father in Dutch

btw: chech out this site
there are 3 pages full of these things

Haven't they taken those pages down?

Yeah, I killed the idea when I realised that TF.N had also done it a few weeks ago.

Not worth treading well trodden ground unless you can have a new slant on it. 🙁

Yerssot, I already mentioned the Vader-in-Dutch thing when I mentioned queeq; he's not convinced that that is why GL did it.

So what does he think it is from?
